determine density (p)
where m = my muscle (mass)
and v = my entire body (volume)
I notice daily how much more dense I feel and am slightly addicted to touching myself when I workout lol.
ok, im not that obvious about it, nor is it a sexual thing, but it's absolutely rewarding and motivating to be able to feel the results of determined work. particularly, to feel my hamstrings becoming well developed rocks. Hamstrings used to be my least favorite part to work - mainly because they were one of my weakest. I now find myself determined to hit this group with as many movement variations as i possibly can to strengthen and balance the entire area.
I find myself working so much harder because it took time and pain to get here and it will take time and pain to get there. i dont mind.
It's one thing to see results and an entirely different thing to feel results at a micro level. Of course you can feel results when you wake every morning. You know your energy and mood is lifted (macro level), but to feel what your work is doing to your physical self is pretty cool (micro)!
Cardio wise - I don't run because of the ultra high impact it has on the body and because my knees are still sensitive...instead I prefer plyometrics and intervals that ensure I'm not reducing my density. A reduction in density = a reduction in curvature! And a reduction in curvature means no booty :(.
I'm off shortly to train legs tonight...something I've been hitting 2-3 times weekly now. My calculations thus far have been yielding favorable results.
